Movie Reviews of Prisoners of the Sun
Movie Review: Gripping account of wartime atrocities.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a horrific account of wartime atrocities committed by Japanese troops during World War II. Anyone who sees this or knows the true story would not dispute the need to have used the Atomic Bomb. Even though it is dramatized, it does use people that really existed and something that actually happened to tell the story. The question posed is "why were some obviously guilty people" given a pass (for political exigencies) while an honest person caught up in the situation punished for following orders. Food for thought.
Summary of Prisoners of the Sun
An oppressive mood hangs over the small island of Ambon, Indonesia, where hundreds of Australian prisoners of war have been massacred by their Japanese guards. World War II is nearly over and two officers, Captain Cooper (Bryan Brown) and Lieutenant Corbett (Russell Crowe), must prosecute those Japanese officers responsible. The stories of sadistic torture and systematic executions in the ensuing trials sent shockwaves throughout the world. But, in an explosive showdown between Australian justice, American politics, and the Japanese warrior code, Bushido, will justice be found?Action & Adventure DVD Video
